## Class ObjectUtils.Null

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.commons.lang.ObjectUtils.Null

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable
  Enclosing class:
    ObjectUtils

      public static class ObjectUtils.Null
      extends java.lang.Object
      implements java.io.Serializable

  Class used as a null placeholder where `null` has another meaning.

  For example, in a `HashMap` the `HashMap.get(java.lang.Object)` method returns `null` if the `Map` contains `null` or if there is no matching key. The `Null` placeholder can be used to distinguish between these two cases.

  Another example is `Hashtable`, where `null` cannot be stored.
